Pros:

Emplacement de rêve. Idéal pour visiter Holbox et profiter du centre-ville. À cette période, pas de bruits nocturnes des bars proches (peut-être pas le cas en pleine saison).

Services excellents et le petit déjeuner varié est délicieux.

Un séjour parfait.

Ideal
Pros:

Un véritable petit paradis, avec une vue magnifique sur la mer et les cocotiers. La chambre sont spacieuses et confortables, et le bar-restaurant est très agréable, avec de délicieux cocktails. Le petit-déjeuner, servi en bord de mer, est exceptionnel. L’hôtel est proche du centre animé tout en restant très calme, et le personnel est aux petits soins.

Cons:

la plage avec les sargasses, dommage que personne nettoie

False advertising
Pros:

Do not waste your money at this place. It was not clean, the room was falsely advertised. The noise level at night made it impossible to sleep. The smell of sewage at the beach made me feel dirty after swimming in front of the hotel and there were no outdoor shower that I could find. The lack of customer service or even an understanding of what I was unhappy with was very frustrating. I didn’t feel safe at night due to locals partying in the ally next to our room and telling my husband that “ you’re in Mexico *****”. I tried to contact the hotel with no response so we had to call the police however they never came and the music lasted well past 2 am. From the time of arrival to the next morning we were done with this place. Didn’t want to be there at all anymore so we booked another hotel and left with 3 days left of our honeymoon. Please if your coming with the expectation that this is a nice resort/ hotel, you are mistaken because it’s not.

I wouldn’t go back there
Pros:

The room was nice and clean. However, it was on the second floor, and the stairs were very narrow. The staff helped with our suitcases on arrival, but carrying them down ourselves when leaving wasn’t easy.

Cons:

In the pictures, the place looked bigger, with more sunbeds. However, there was far too much smelly seaweed, and the area was full of mosquitoes. They ‘clean’ the seaweed by covering it with sand, which didn’t seem very effective. I wouldn’t go there again—the hotels farther away had cleaner beaches and nicer spots for an even better price. The breakfast was fine.
